There are multiple seating areas, indoors and outdoors and screens setup so you can watch the sermon and other happenings on screen.

As a lifelong Valrico local, I've been part of many community spots, but Arise Church in Brandon…read morehas become a cornerstone of my spiritual journey. This vibrant Pentecostal church, known for its belief in faith healing, has a reputation for powerful services where people experience healing most weeks. The welcoming atmosphere, heartfelt worship, and life-changing moments have made it a place where I truly found God. For its transformative impact, uplifting services, and genuine community, Arise Church earns five stars. Walking into Arise is like stepping into a warm embrace. The modern sanctuary buzzes with energy, filled with people from all walks of life--families, singles, young, and old--united in worship. The Pentecostal roots shine through in the dynamic services, with passionate music that lifts your spirit and sermons that hit home with practical, Bible-based messages. The pastors deliver teachings that feel personal, urging you to connect with God in a real way. The faith healing aspect is central, with prayer sessions most weeks where congregants report physical and emotional healings--back pain eased, chronic illnesses lifted, and hearts mended. I've witnessed these moments myself, feeling the undeniable presence of something bigger, and it's humbling to see faith in action. For me, Arise is where I found God in a way I never expected. I came in skeptical, carrying years of questions and doubts, but the genuine love from the congregation and the powerful worship opened my heart. During one service, amidst the music and prayers, I felt a peace I'd never known--a moment that reshaped my life and gave me a sense of purpose. The church's focus on experiencing God isn't just talk; it's tangible in the way people pray for each other, share stories of transformation, and build community. They offer groups for everyone--youth, singles, seniors--and events like Bible studies and outreach that make you feel part of something bigger. The services, held multiple times on Sundays, are accessible and engaging, with kids' and youth programs that keep the younger crowd excited about faith. The church is family-oriented, and the staff are approachable, always ready to pray with you or offer a kind word. It's not perfect--parking can get tight during peak services, but they manage it well, and the large crowds speak to the church's impact. The focus on faith healing might not resonate with everyone, but it's done with sincerity, never pressure, and always invites personal reflection. Arise Church has become my spiritual home. The healing services, vibrant worship, and sense of belonging have deepened my faith and given me a community that feels like family. For anyone seeking a place to connect with God and find support, Arise is a beacon. It's earned five stars for changing my life and offering a space where faith feels alive and real. I'll keep coming back, grateful for the journey it's sparked.

I was brought up in a heavy religious "rule' based church. They taught me only this church is…read moregoing to heaven. I have never felt the presence of God before in my life. And I was scared and frightened of the Lord. I broke away from church and the Lord. Got into drugs really bad, lost everything many times over. My heart was hardened and I was broken. God lifted the veil one day and showed me exactly who I was. Not the cute little gangsta I believed I was. But the REAL me. I started listening to messages on the radio, then youtube, then I started looking for a real live church to go to. Whenever I was in Rehab it always seemed to help. But at Arise, I didn't know what was going on. I started crying, weeping. Like the story where the "woman-prostitute" was cleaning Jesus' feet with her "tears". Now I see how that is possible. Another time I went and up on the screen were like pages of the Bible regarding the crucifixion. It said they spit on Jesus. And when I saw that, I started just crying for my savior. Jesus says, "Love the Lord God with all your heart". I knew then what was happening, I was falling in love, with my Lord God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The presence of God is definately there at Arise !! And his presence changes everything !! Arise has helped me in so many ways and I believe its because of his presence and the hard work of all Godly people who claim Arise as home !!

Many folks signed up for a Thanksgiving turkey. We all had to wait from 8:30-2;00pm to get a $25…read morevoucher. A true waste of time since we were promised a turkey. Many of the people I spoke to were really upset that we had to wait that long. Also in the event followers were talking about all the superficial materialistic gifts God gave them (Apple Watch, MacBook, car, $30k). Also we watched a video of the pastor driving a Ferrari. I was respectful and participated in ways I felt comfortable. Anyways when I refused to go to the front to get blessed, 3 of the churchgoers were forcing me to go up. Stating I will be going to hell if I died today. Very strange and gave me cult vibes. A lot of us just went for a turkey that we signed up for and did not even get that after sitting there for hours. In summary, I am a religious person and did not agree with their teachings. And I did not appreciate making us wait almost 6 hours for a $25 voucher. Their intention should have been clear.
